A Little Life
Hanya Yanagiharakelly p.I enjoyed the Andrea Long Chu piece on Hanya Yanagihara today, but I kind of feel like when it comes to analysis of A Little Life as lifestyle porn-slash-trauma porn, Elif Batuman did it first and best: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/hanya-yanagiharas-sex-city

Small Gods: Perspectives on the Drone
Alex Quichokelly p.@TinaRiversRyan More minor than major, but Alex Quicho's recent book Small Gods is about the drone (expansively). And imo some of Sekula's work on the instrumentalized image feels like a useful prehistory. https://t.co/KKWKfQ1zJ0 https://t.co/eMZcCOBpjT
